Resumo: The host organization is an activity house for psychiatric patients who are alcoholics or abusers of medicine, and people who need a place to meet with other people. The age ranges between 20-75 years old, but most people are between 35 and 55 years old. An average week in the organization will have about 60-70 different people visiting the house and the visitors can come without the interference of the authorities and be anonymous.

The organization does no specific therapeutical work or treatment with the visitors. The keywords are presence and being together.

The organization is situated in a small house with our own garden in walking distance from the center of the town Skive. We have two living rooms where we organize activities and spend time together, a small kitchen, an office for the staff and a computer room in the basement. We have a nice garden with a terrace, which we enjoy using during summertime.

Perfil: We are looking for a volunteer who is interested in working with people in a personal difficult situation. It is important to understand that the volunteer should not expect to be able to change their lives. We can light a candle and create joy in the moment. Improvement happens very slowly – or they do not happen at all.
Volunteer must be quiet, patient and tolerant, be mentally and psychologically well-balanced. Like to talk and be curious to learn about and understand other people. Good spirits are necessary to bring in the lift in energy level the visitors need.

Volunteer must speak good English and be good at non-verbal communication, since many of our visitors do not speak English. Willingness to learn Danish fast is essential, to be extrovert and take initiative in creating contact to the visitors important.
It would be an advantage if the volunteer has some special talents within creative, sports, handcraft or other areas.
Hence many of our visitors are smokers and smoking is done inside the house, the volunteer must be able to be in a room with smoke.
The organization is open to any European nationalitya and for both gender.
Age: 17-30

Tarefas: Which activities the volunteer will be involved in will depend on his/her special skills and interests, but in general the working days will be:
60% Talking and being together with visitors when at the coffetable, creating a cosy atmosphere, playing a card – or boardgame or other ”quiet” activity.
25% Activities like creative hobbies, sportactivites, bowling, excursions out of the house.
15% Cooking or other kitchenactivity (dishwashing and cleaning)

If the volunteer has any special talents (sport, music, handicrafts…..) we will encourage him/her to teach these activities, also the volunteer could organize a national event at a party, prepare typical food, teach a little of his/her language or a typical song etc….. bring your ideas.
Otherwise the volunteer will join in at the activities assisting the teachers and the other staffmembers. S/he should take part in planning the programme and feel responsible for getting through the day in a good manner for everybody. Responsibility will be given according to volunteers abilities and wishes, and will progress during the stay.
Working hours will be weekdays from 9am to 4pm. One day a week the volunteer will arrive late and stay until 22pm in the evening. We expect the volunteer to work 1 Saturday each month (we plan which day together, so volunteer can join other weekendactivities as wanted) Instead the volunteer will be given a weekday off. Total working hours will not exceed 35 hours a week.
